Christmas Plans?
Morning you bunch of cheery bored-based-buggers.
What are you all doing for the festive holidays? Are you getting time off?
Staying or flying elsewhere?
I'm off at 2am tonight/tomorrow morning and don't mind admitting that I can't wait to see my Mummy at the airport. Been a long hard year at work and looking forward to some quality family time and a few days out of the madness that is Dubai.
However, work have been most kind to dump a barrel load of shite in my lap yesterday so today's early finish and work beers is looking like a challenge. "Can we have a report that would take you weeks to do overnight please Scamp?"...err, no, sorry...."Thanks for the quick response, unfortunately it was wrong, so please send it by lunch on Thursday".
GULP.

Re: Christmas Plans?
We'll be here. I love the weather in Dubai this time of year. Lots of invitations, plenty of relaxing and playing with my new kitten.
